newsNews24 reports that the Theewaterskloof Municipality in the Western Cape has appointed Wilfred Solomons-Johannes as the acting municipal manager following the resignation of Boy Manqoba Ngubo last week.

During a special council sitting on Monday, Solomons-Johannes was appointed for a period of three months. Processes are apparently being followed to appoint a full-time municipal manager. Ngubo quit the municipality just five months after being appointed on a five-year contract. His replacement Solomons-Johannes is said to be a seasoned municipal official, who previously held senior positions in the City of Cape Town. He has also previously acted as Theewaterskloof's municipal manager. Kallie Papier, the mayor of Theewaterskloof, said the coalition government – the ANC, PA and GOOD – would ensure the authority was not left leaderless and that Solomons-Johannes would provide guidance until a full-time appointment was made.
